I've noticed what I've called "Fundie Christians Jumping On The Paranormal Bandwagon" to preach their doctrine. On YouTube you will find many Fundie Christians posting purported NDE Videos, full with recreations and interviews (always with a Christian Ministry TV Program), talking about how they were formerly an Atheist, Muslim, Buddhist, Mormon, Catholic, Hindu, Etc, and how they found themselves in Hell, and God told them that Buddha, Muhammed, The Pope, Krishna, or Joseph Smith were evil deceived satanists, and showed them their friends of that religion burning in Hell telling them not to make the same mistake they made, Etc. It's the same garbage story every time.
But you know what I've noticed? I'm VERY well read on all of those Religions. And most of these "Former Muslims", "Former Mormons", "Former Hindus", "Former Catholics", "Former Buddhists", Etc, GET THEIR DOCTRINES LAUGHABLY WRONG when they are talking about their "Former Religion".
Like it had a "Former Muslim NDEr" talk about how they "Prayed to Muhammed to Save them", "Like they were taught in Mosque", which is TOTAL BS, real Muslims pray to God ONLY. I also saw "Former Mormon NDErs" talking about how they "Prayed to Joseph Smith", and "Asked for Many Gods to Save Them", "Like I was taught in Church", which again, is totally against Mormon Teaching. And in one "Former Buddhist NDEr" account he said that he saw Buddha in Hell "because he didn't accept Christ as his Savior", that doesn't make sense, because Buddha lived 600 years BEFORE Jesus Christ was born, hahaha. If you notice the errors they are making concerning their purported "Former Religion" the whole thing seems suspicious.
I personally think, due to the suspicious content and the fradulent information in regards to discussing their "Former Religion", many of these people are most probably frauds, jumping on the Paranormal Bandwagon to teach their Fundie Doctrines to those who have "Gone Astray" (I.E. learned to think).
Also, in other cases, I KNOW have embellished their claims over time. Take for instance Howard Storm. He was an Atheist who had an NDE, found himself in a dark hellish place (Howard was admittedly a bully and an awful man before his NDE), prayed to God to Rescue him, a "Being of Light" came to rescue him from the darkness, gave him a life review, surrounded him with light beings, and answered all of his questions. He asked which Religion was true, he was answered, "Whichever brings you closest to God".
Now, years later, Howard Storm has become a preacher and a Fundamentalist Christian, and has Re-Interpreted his original recorded NDE, to saying the "Being of Light" was Jesus Christ, the light beings were Angels, and totally leaving out the part where the Being of Light told him in regards to Religion "whichever brings you closest to God". And on YouTube there are videos of him being interviewed on Christian Fundie TV Programs preaching that people need Jesus or they are going to Hell forever, Etc.
I've seen this with a few other cases too, of people having an initial NDE, later converting to Christianity, and totally re-interpreting it in a Fundie Christian context, and leaving out the parts they now disagree with.
